MOTORISTS are being warned to stay safe after a driver lost control of their car and crashed earlier this afternoon.

The roads surrounding the Southern Industrial Trading Estate in Bracknell saw queueing traffic after the silver hatchback collided at the side of the road, spreading debris and leaking fluids.

A section of the sliproad leading from Ellesfield Avenue onto Mill Lane was blocked off while officers moved the vehicle and assessed the man for injuries.

The car has now been recovered and the area is clear.

Officers were called at just after 1pm to reports that a vehicle had lost control and was blocking the carriageway.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "We were called today at 1.04pm after a vehicle lost control.

"A male driver in his forties has been injured and is in the care of amublance crews.

"No other vehicles were involved."
